I was a huge fan of The series 1997-2004 which aired on BBC1 - And was saddened when it was axed - this was down to Alan Davies not wanting to be typecast rather than low ratings i think.
Two young women end up stranded in the middle of a terrible storm as their car suffers a flat tyre, just at that moment a young man takes them home for the night to a huge old mansion called Metropolis where he works as a handyman.
The said mansion has some terrible secrets as the girls are told that in the attic of the house 7 people in the course of 70 years have vanished without trace just leaving their clothes behind as if torn off their bodies, one of the young women decides to stay the night alone in the attic (As you do!) after trying and failing to seduce the handyman, and low and behold after the handyman turns up the following morning the woman has indeed vanished leaving only clothes behind so of course Jonathan gets called in to solves the seemingly impossible mystery with the young woman's friend as a sidekick of sorts as Carla & Maddie have long gone.
There's also another part to the story involving deep family secrets and a missing woman.....I shan't say anymore has it's very easy to spoil a Creek episode,
After a near 5 years hiatus, 'The Grinning man' which incidentally regards to a pretty ugly portrait hanging on the wall in the attic, is a tremendously good episode, which like all other episodes keep you guessing to the end,which is what i loved about the series although it isn't as lighthearted as the series and is probably darker than most of the previous episodes and will probably be quite scary for youngsters, But Alan Davies is on top form and sidekick for this episode although is quite annoying at first, does grow on you.
Yank sex mad Magician Adam Claus is back as the comic relief who gets involved with 3-D Porn much to Johnathan's dismay,
I do hope this gets fantastic ratings - so there will be other episodes made
**** out of *****
